Medical Emergency Causes Dump Truck to Level Home

A 73,000-pound dump truck crashed into a home in Woodbury Heights, Gloucester County, New Jersey, around 1:30 p.m. after the driver suffered a medical emergency and struck a utility pole before colliding with the house. The impact caused severe structural damage, shifting the house off its foundation and resulting in its demolition. Both the driver and the home's sole occupant were injured and hospitalized, with both reported in stable condition. The driver was trapped for hours before being rescued. Emergency crews implemented road closures and secured the area during the response and demolition. Authorities continue to investigate, but preliminary findings point to the driver's medical emergency as the cause.
